ATKINsON's PROPOSITION.
How Would 1t Do to Buy Canada's Fish
cry Provinces?

New YORK, November 16th.-A short
time ago f. B. Thurber, Chairman of the
Commercial Union Committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce. wrote to Edward Atkin-
son, the well-known political economist of
Boston, for an expression of his views on
the subject of a Commercial Union with
Canada. Atkinson has replied in long
letter, in which he takes the ground that
not only does he favor such union, but
also that he can discover no valid argu-
ment against 1T.
The novel part of his letter, however, is
contained in paragraph referring to
Nova Scotia. New Brunswick and Cape
Breton, the seat OF the fisheries dispute.
and which the late Governor Andrews
of Massachusetts is quoted as con-
sidering equal in productive capacity
to New York and Philadelphia, exclusive
of their fisheries. Atkinson says the popu-
lation of the provinces is something less
than millien people. These people have
received little benefit from the railway pro-
ject in the far West, on which Canadas
money has heen chiefly expended, but
they must share the burden of the debt.
Mr. Atkinson says: Suppose the Uni.
ted States should buy them at price equal
to their share of Canada's debt-say forty to
fifty million dollars-it would only cost
five months surplus revenue Would it
not be good bargain for US, and would it
not be a good bargain for the provinces
aud the Dominion? 1t would enable the
Dominion to complete the remainder of its
railway system without incurring any fur
ther danger of loss to its credit"

Historian Bancrofes Granddaughter Ef
tects n Clandestine Match.
icopyig, 1887, by The California Associatsa Press]
WASHINGTON, November 16th.-TSpecial. !
"A great sensation is caused among soci-
ETY. people by the clandestine marriage
yesterday of Miss Susanna Bancroft. the
granddaughter of the historian, George
Bancroft, to Charles Carroll, of Howard
county, Md. About seven o'clock yester-
day forenoon Miss Bancroft left her grand
fathers residence with Carroll, as if going
out for walk. The couple went to the
parsonage of st. Mathews Church and
made known their errand to Rev. Father
Chappelle, who informed them that he
could not marry them without dispensa-
ton from Cardinal Gibbons, authorizing
him to perform the ceremony without the
customary publication of the bans. as re-
CURED by the Roman Catholic Church.
Nothing daunted, the lovers boarded the
next train for Baltimore, and called at the
Cardinals residence, where they had no
difficulty IN procuring the coveted docu-
ment, and were soon on their way back to
Washington, and were finally married at
half-past five in the evening.
Alter the ceremony Miss Bancroft re-
turned to her home on II street, while the
happy groom returned to his hotel.
Miss Bancroft, some months ago. was
publicly announced TO be engaged to
prominent gentleman connected with one
OF the foreign Legations, and not the faint
est whisper of disagreement between the
high contracting parties had thus far been
heard. The lady was supposed to be busily
engaged upon the task of having her elab.
orate trousseau prepared for the forthcom-
ing wedding, and gossips had already set
the day for the celebration of the happy
event -

ous. Ex-Governor Click, of Kansas, who
was strongly backed for the position, has
been already urged upon the President,
but he is evidently too far at present from
the scene. Cobb of Indiana, has been a
constant visitor at the Interior Department
since the trouble between Lamar and
Sparks was made known, and has been
talked OF by few old friends. He pro-
tests that he is not a candidate for the
Office, but it is asserted that he is very de-
sirous of securing it, and hopes TO on his
record as Chairman of the Public Lands
Committee of the House.
1t IS thought, however, that Assistant
Commissioners Stockstager. who took his
place as Acting Commissioner to-day noon,
has the best chance for the place. He was
candidate for Commissioner against
Sparks, and among his recommendations
IS one signed by the Indiana delegation in
Congress and Vice. President Hendricks.
Senator VOORHEES, had a long talk with
Stockstager yesterday, and gave him to un-
derstand that he should still have the sup
port of the Indiana delegation. This would
make Cobb's candidacy rather embarrass-
ing. 1t is believed that Secretary Lamar
would favor Stockstager's promotion, as it
would place in the Office a man with the
details OF the Office at his fingers ends, and
would save considerable contest among
outsiders for the place.

Desperate and Brutal SIogging Match
Ends in q Drawn Fight.

BosroN, November 16th-McAuliffe and
Carney battled seventy-four rounds this
morning in stable on Revere Beach. At
the end of the seventy fourth round the
fight was suspended. The fighting lasted
four hours and fifty-five minutes. Both
men were badly punished. At the seventy
fourth round Carney knocked McAuliffe
down, and the spectators Immediately
broke into the ring and knocked down the
stakes and ropes. A scrimmage ensued
and the referee declared the battle drawn
fight.
The fight was hot from the start, and
lasted four hours and ffty-fiye minutes.
Carney told his friends privately before the
match that he not only meant to knock
out McAuliffe, but to murder him. The
light will be finished at time to be agreed
upon later.
During the fight a spectator fell and
broke one of his arms so that the bones
protruded through his fiesh There were
about fifty spectators. Arthur Chambers
and Nobby Clark seconded Carney, and
Jack Dempsey and Con McAuliffe Sec
onded McAulitfe.
Both men were badly punished, but
were able to continue, and would have done
so had not the excitement been too much
for the spectators and caused them to en-
gssc IN general row.
THE REFEREES ACTION 1NDoRsED.
BosToN, November l6th.-The unsatisfac-
tory termination of the fight has been the
subject of discussion in all the sporting cir
cles to-day, and while regretting that a
postponement was made necessary, the &C.
ton of the referee is admitted to have been
the only thing that could possibly have
been done under the circumstances. All
bets are declared off, and matters remain
exactly as though the men had not met.
CONDITION OF THE MEN.
Carney was in the city this evening and,
with the exception of a few scratches and
bruises, he was apparently uninjured. He
appeared to be in good spirits, and declared
that he would be willing to finish the con-
test.
McAuliffe is reported to be quite badly
used up and weak from the effects of the
fight. He is kept for the present in COM
Portable quarters outside the city, where ne
is receiving medical treatment. There is
yet no serious talk as to the time of con-
tinuing the fight.

talked with many railroad men concerning
the westward travel for this season, and all
agree, from facts furnished them by their
agents and solicitors throughout New Eng
land, that the California travel during the
approaching winter will be largely in ex-
cess of all previous estimates We railroad
men know that the westward travel is now
much heavier than it has ever been. Cali

Just now Southern California. l do not
think that this distinction will continue.
In time there will be only California re-
ferred to, for it must be considered as ONLY

advertised in New York by the railroads,
by hotel men, by excursion agencies, and

ICopgTi9, 1857 by a.e California Associeied Pressl
New YORK, November 16lh.-Yee King,
Chinese tea-dealer, has sued Lee Wah &
Co., Chinese firm running a gambling
house, Chinese lottery agency and opium
den. Yee King said: "The den is run on
a very extensive plan, and white girls vis-
ited it daily and hit the pipe" He al
leges that Lee Wah e. Co. make about
$1,000 month out of their gambling tables
and lottery. He claims that most of the
Cinnamon who visit the place were for
merly Sunday-school scholars at Rev. J.
w. Sprouts church in Allegheny, but have
fallen from grace.
Yee King says that although used to
opium all his life, his whole being revoted
at seeing young American girls led to ruin
and disgrace through its agency. The girls
are from twelve to fifteen years of age, and
come to the den generally late at night
after the dime museums are closed The
firm known as Lee Wah & Co. own several
stores of this kind located in different parts
of the city. They sell opium. The real
owner of them all is Sing King, living in
San Francisco.
An attache of the police says if Lee Wah
is arrested he will expose fifteen of the
worst gambling and opium places ever
known, which, he says, are running scores
of white boys and girls.

horse had to be killed. He ruined Wilson's
well by pouring petroleum into it, and
terrorized the family by posting warning
to them to leave the country.
To avoid detection he made the notice by
pasting together letters cut from newspaper
heads. So successful was he il avoiding
detection that Wilson employed him to
guard him. One day Wilson lighted his
forge when it was torn to pieces by an ex-

Sensational Features of the Arson Triai

CHICAGO, November 16th.-The Neps
special from Joliet says: The sensational
developments continued to-day in the suit
of the California Insurance Company
against Lambert & Bishop, the wire fence
company, for the recovery of insurance
money paid the latter firm on the loss of
their wire factory by fire. Ex-Superin-
tendent Whyte, of the wire company, was
under ross-examination most Of the day.
He described minutely the machine by
which he fired the building, and swo-e that
the President of the company supervised
its construction. The object, he said, was
to get rid of the old mill and build new
one, the plans of which he drafted before
the fire.
Several witnesses corroborated certain
details of Whyte's testimony, and attempts
were made by the defense to show that
Whyte was in the employ of the insurance
company to make the expose in order that
the company might get back the money
paid on the loss. They also moved for a
warrant for Whyte's arrest as a self-con-
fessed criminal. The trial is very sensa-
tional.
